Until someone shows evidence to the contrary, I ALWAYS assume this sort of thing is Munchhauser's Syndrome By Proxy. Odds of batshiat crazy mom doctoring candy for attention are WAY more likely than random stranger doctoring candy for the lulz.

Are not the same. How exactly is this news? Unless the mom is completely hirsute and dad is a full face beard man I imagine they have razors in the house. Or is this the type of woman who tapes foam to all the corners in the house?

Holy crap. Their house is so childproof that their kids don't have access to anything as dangerous as a safety razor? Those kids will leave the house and promptly get darwinned. Sometimes I think that overparenting is worse than underparenting.

Usually I'm perfectly fine with calling out stupid parents but I don't really think her reaction was so outrageous. Obviously a 10 year old should be smart enough not to hurt herself but if someone is making a joke of passing out packaged razors, if they ended up in the bag of a smaller child who thought it was a toy, it was worth letting other parents know so they they could check the bags extra carefully.

She might not have known which house put it in, and it sounds like they visited multiple streets, so she told the HOA so that other parents could be alerted. It probably didn't need to be a news article but it doesn't seem unreasonable.
